Re: whole reballance suggestion

I must admit that the current setup does make a kind of sense - if you think of a modern day tank you really aren't going to do any damage to that with a machine gun. A gatling-cannon, like that on the A-10, however, is specifically designed for taking down tanks. So there should be some way for lo...

Re: whole reballance suggestion

Perhaps, but you would have to then remove the TwinAssaultGun from MP as well.  I can't imagine the carnage a weapon with the base damage of the T-A-G would do after receiving 9 damage upgrades; even the basic AssaultGun, in the SP campaign, could rape everything but a Vengeance tank. Or, said anot...

Re: Weapon Analysis

Okay, I've started numerically analysing all the weapon stats so we can compare them mathematically, but I want to just confirm my guessed formulae for damage and firing speed. From the data, it looks like "fireDelay" is the delay between rounds, and "reloadTime" is the time to ...

Re: whole reballance suggestion

I wholeheartedly agree:  Starcraft was amazingly well-balanced.  They must've done an incredible amount of playtesting, or they used some sort of formula to figure out how much damage/armor each unit would get. But on a side note:  Wasn't the Scarab the unit with the highest damage output?  Or, bet...

Re: x86_64 patch

Hmm, thats strange, the usual suspect here is the use of longs, which are 32 bit on i386 and 64 bits on x86_64 (and byte order when going from i386 to for example powerpc), but as said no longs are being used, so that leaves us with alignment issues as probable cause. I assume that the laod/save co...

Re: whole reballance suggestion

One of the causes of the uselessness of late game bodies is the flawed armor system of warzone,greater armor rating(threshold) is only slightly better than early game ones,because weapon damage becomes absurdly high in late games. Lets use the most 'balanced' RTS games' armor damage reduction system...

Re: x86_64 patch

Erm, I did a full audit of the 2.0 code for the use of long values (one of the big culprits when loading binary stuff from disk) and I've found no 64 bit problematic uses of long in the save/load code. Actually the only 64 problematic uses of long was the use in the netmangle / unmangle code, which...

Re: Nighlty build of the development trunk

are you running older data or something,the errors have something to do with old data/new exe combo it seems,the map object died issue is probably introduced by one of the recent commits.

Re: How do I mod weapon/body stats

Maybe you can try this:

index.php?topic=889.0

note that this only works with svn data,just go grab Giel nightly build in his 'nightly build' thread if you are on windows.

Fortunately I am finally motivated to add a gui to the wzstats converter I wrote some time ago.  ;D http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/3815/wztools04wi9.jpg This one uses AntTweakBar http://www.antisphere.com/Wiki/tools:anttweakbar for gui support,AntTweakBar is damn easy to implement and has pretty...
